Hello sir my son got 98.8 in jee mains general category which college should i prefer in jac counselling for tech branch and delhi home quota

Ans: Shilpy Madam, With a 98.8 JEE Main percentile (approximate rank 8,000–10,000), your son is competitively positioned for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and related tech branches at DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi under Delhi’s home state quota. For DTU, his rank aligns with Information Technology (2024 closing rank: 19,074) and Electronics & Communication Engineering (28,173), while NSUT offers CSE (Data Science) (15,264) and Mathematics & Computing (24,436). IIIT Delhi’s specialized programs like CSE (Artificial Intelligence) (7,644) and CSE (Data Science) (8,757) are attainable, given their lower cutoffs compared to core CSE (12,803). IGDTUW’s CSE (25,613) remains borderline but feasible in later rounds. Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Delhi’s AI/Data Science programs for niche tech roles, followed by NSUT’s Mathematics & Computing and DTU’s IT/ECE for balanced industry-academia opportunities. For backups, target DTU’s Environmental Engineering (75,960) or DSEU’s Energy Engineering (88,631) via JAC counselling, and explore IIIT Delhi’s Electronics & VLSI (32,814) if core hardware interests align. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
